Thanks to Michelle and John for a great time at their wedding August 2nd!  A little rain early on created the perfect sky later in the day for these great shots.  These two are a couple of grass experts, so we put them to work!  Our Lady of Fatima in Elizabeth was the site of the beautiful ceremony.  Photo shoot afterwards was at Frelinghuysen Arboretum.  Reception at Iberia Restaurant in Newark was phenomenal!!!  The food was endless and the presentation gorgeous!  For all you Portuguese food lovers, this is the place to be!  Thanks to Tony, the Maitre ‘D, the night was great.

This poor guy never has a chance!

Enjoy Italy Michelle and John!

Best,

To say the weather was HOT this weekend is an understatement, but we managed to keep cool and had a great time with Bernadette and Marc.  Verona Park was scorching, but the bridal party and families we good sports and stuck it out for a few shots  - thanks everyone!!!  The ceremony and reception at The Atrium was gorgeous!  Take a peek…

A little help with the shoes…

Our handsome groom…

Our flower girl was beginning to meltdown in the heat, so we had her lend a hand to Chris with the bridal party formals.  He needs all the help he can get!!!

After a few Mojitos - don’t drop her, please!

A KICK-ASS cake shot!!!  Thanks to Gerry at Golden Note Entertainment for the wall lighting!

This was a lot of fun.  Lori & Cem wanted something different for their marriage so, they decided to be married on a yacht.

We left the Molly Pitcher Inn Marina at 6 pm.  The ceremony was held on the Navesink River in Red Bank, after a quick cruise the captain returned back to the marina to drop off the minister.  We then cruised toward Sandy Hook to look for dolphins, catch the sunset and enjoy dinner.

Members of the crew:
Captain  Mickey Mendlen (Private Charter 43′ yacht “Tootise”)
Rev   Anthony Lipari (Pine Beach Chapel)
Chef  Casey Pence (Djeet Gourmet Catering)
Photographer  Yours Truly

It was a blast,
Chris

What started out like your typical ‘let’s catch the bouquet’ moment, quickly turned into a wrestling match. It was something to see two bridesmaids’s jumping away from the rest of the girls in line for the toss; each of them had a hand on the bouquet as they hit the floor.

We quickly got the sense of what was happening and just kept shooting.  Neither of the girls would let up once guests started cheering them on.

It took one of the girls to pin the other to the ground with her foot & rip the flowers out of the other bridesmaid’s hand.  In the end, one got the bloom, the other got the stems!

You should have seen the look of the best man who caught the garter.  Very few of our weddings still do the garter and bouquet toss - this wedding was refreshing!

Had to share,
Suzanne
